Women, according to a new study, are more likely than men to die within 30 days of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which causes unstable angina or a heart attack.
But in analyzing data on more than 136,000 participants, researchers pointed to a number of factors that explained the mortality gender gap – including the severity and type of ACS and the fact that women with ACS were older and had a greater incidence of underlying conditions such as high cholesterol and diabetes. Understanding such differences between men and women can lead to better diagnosis and treatment of ACS for everyone.
